Developer Productivity Power Ups on Mac OSX

You're a talented coder and you apply many agile practices to your daily workflow. Still, you are looking for that next boost to better keep track of information, manage your open applications, make working with the terminal more productive, recall information quickly, manage files rapidly, and produce documentation in a portable and effective manner.

This presentation will show you how to apply DevonThink, Delicious bookmarks, RSS feeds, Pinboard.in, Pomodoro, Things, LaunchBar, Bash profiles, mind maps, markdown files and spotlight filters to become a more productive developer that has a world of information sorted and accessible at a moment's notice.

Git Bootcamp - An All-Day Workshop

Distributed version control is all the rage these days, but is it worth it? It has been transformative for the dozens of organizations and thousands of developers that I've mentored on the unique implementation called Git. But don't take my word for it. Discover the joy of a version control system that works for you, not against you, in a hands-on workshop. Bring a Windows, Mac, or Linux laptop and we'll install, set up, use and bend Git into workflows that weren't even possible with the version control systems of yesteryear. Be prepared to rethink how lightweight, fast, and refreshing source code control can be. After completing this workshop you'll be able to do practical work with Git for your day job or weekend OSS hobby

Build Lifecycle Craftsmanship Tools

You've heard a bit about Git, Gradle, Jenkins, and Sonar, but are you putting them to use? Are you maximizing what they can offer in terms of standardized project models, faster incremental compiles, automated commit-triggered builds, and rapid source code analysis? In this intense presentation, live demonstrations will be given for all of the latest versions of the aforementioned tools and what they have to offer a highly proficient Java developer.

Git Advanced (1/2 Day Workshop)

Many Git classes successfully focus on the basics for those new to DVCS. However, with Git having 7 years on the street now, there is a growing desire to address the maturing users of this innovative DVCS. This class will take existing Git users and bring them to a heightened level of productivity by leveraging Git's powerful, yet under-used advanced features.

Applying Git: 10 Power Tips

Git is a powerful content tracker and has gained acceptance by many forward leaning consultants and teams over the past several years. Those developers know that it offers the usual commit, branch, merge and tag in a distributed environment, and yet, only a few developers have explored the more powerful functions of Git. These range from searching months of history for a unit-test bug to undoing literally any mistake to splitting in-progress work into multiple commits within a single file.

The Guts of Git: Graphs, Hashes, and Compression, Oh My!

Git is a version control system. We can look at it from that high level. Git is a content tracking system. Some teachers advise us to look at it from that lowered elevation. But I will take you to the very bottom. The floor. The code. The algorithms. The directed acyclic graph of hashed bit sequences made efficient through LZW commpression and deferred garbage collection determined by node reachability via hash relationships.
